Ghana 8 Day Special

An unforgettable experience. A few planning missteps, but it did not diminish the trip. Our guide, George was amazing.

Ghana Tour with Continent Tours – Amazing Sites, But Needs Smoother Logistics I had an incredible cultural experience in Ghana with Continent Tours—rich history, emotional visits to the castles and dungeons, and a beautiful naming ceremony that I’ll never forget. Hotels were mostly excellent: Mövenpick in Accra was true 5-star luxury, and Oak Plaza Suites in Kumasi had great staff despite renovations. Unfortunately, our last stay at Ridge Royal Hotel in Cape Coast was a big drop from the planned Lemon Beach Resort, going from luxury to a basic 2-star property. Biggest drawback? Transportation. The 6-hour drive from Accra to Kumasi on rough roads should be replaced with a short flight. Our small bus was cramped for long journeys (we had multiple 4–6 hour drives) and uncomfortable with luggage. A larger, more comfortable bus is a must. Our guide George was knowledgeable and caring, but communication from the company about changes and expectations could be better. Overall: Fantastic tours, mostly great hotels, but transportation and communication need improvement.

I am excited to share my experience in Ghana with Continent Tours! The trip was life changing! I learned so much about our history, important figures like W.E.B. Du-Bois, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and our African history in Ghana. I was so moved by the dungeons, river of last bath, etc. The guides were so informative and drove home the history of the slave trade in Africa. But to hear the history of my ancestors - Kings and Queens and Leaders really inspired me and helped me to see what a strong history we had before slavery! George Benson, our tour guide, was very good in explaining much of the information we learned. This was very helpful in reinforcing what we learned. The highlight of the trip for me was receiving my African name and meeting the local King! I will never forget this trip!
